CNAs are very disrespectful to LVN, that is me..

[Bala Shark]

Hi, I am a new grad..I thought working in like a nursing home is like a team environment..And I thuought CNAs would want to assist the nurse but in reality, in the place I work I get the opposite..I got yelled at by a CNA for coming in the room while they were cleaning poop..I wanted to give him meds and he told me to get out in a mean tone..Geez, guess I was always right about CNAs being that mean and disrespectful..And I asked the other CNA about something and he barked at me like a dog..

Geez, thought they were labeled nursing assistants rather than nuring aggressors..

Let's see, I am an RN with close to 13 years experience, and two years prior as an aide....

And I have deal with rudeness from aides, "support" staff, clerks, MDs, radiology, PT, computer support, lab, other RNs AND LPNS/LVNS!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no special target on new LPNs/LVNs.

There is good in bad and all professions. I am sure that all of us step on the toes of our coworkers occasionally, including the Op and myself. Deal with it.
